The Rules of the Road...
In addition to our playing and league rules, which you will find below, the league is also required to make you aware of some rules that we have agreed to with the National Park Service in exchange for the use of the land which we own…as Americans…but for which they manage on our behalf.
- Members of Congress Not Allowed – No shit, this is a real rule. If you’re a Member and you want to play, you’re out of luck. Plus, you probably would have a high ERA and poor strikeout to home run ratio anyway.
- No Off-leash Dogs or Alcohol – and especially no dogs with alcohol and without leashes.
- Playing Field Not Improved – We’re required to tell you that “the open park area…is maintained soley as an open grassy field and not a leveled, improved area which is designed for organized athlethic competitions”. Basically, those things we refer to as “character” in the field, they don’t want you suing them over it.
- Car Pool, Suckers – We are “required to direct participants to car pool or use other means of transportation insofar as possible”. Don’t worry, this isn’t for some environmental reason or bullshit like that. It’s because when planes crash on take off from DCA they want fewer things on the ground to seperate out from the wreckage.

Don’t mock the environmental shit! I know you think Global Warming will lead to more months of possible wiffleball – but the consequences are a little more complicated than that.
Though, hmmm … wiffleball in December does sound like fun.
